Happy New Year! What a grand 2011 we had. My business is back to pre-recession status. Commissions are coming in, my classes are filling up and shows have done well for me. On a personal note, Mark and I spend 17 days in the Andes of Peru having the adventure of a lifetime. I'm now teaching three stained glass classes a week and have openings in all, so now is the perfect time for you to learn Stained Glass. You don't need any prior experience and you don't have to buy any equipment. Please contact me to get started. I have many new designs including my new line of natural seashells incorporated into stained glass. They have been very popular. My garden stakes and stake fish continue to evolve and expand including now having the ability to ship the stake fish. I hope to see you at one of my shows or by appointment. Let's make some beautiful glass together. Have a great 2012. Carole
